Chapter 5685 All Eyes On Him
Little Nine and Bai Xiaole had known each other for a decently long time by now. Their souls were connected. But Little Nine had never seen Bai Xiaole like this. It was clear that Bai Xiaole was enraged.
In the past, Little Nine was always the one threatening to cancel their contract. Bai Xiaole was always the one bitterly trying to change its mind. In the end, it gave up on this.
However, now it was Bai Xiaole saying that he would cancel their contract. Furthermore, his determination was clear. Little Nine was frightened.
Oftentimes it was only trying to scare Bai Xiaole. After their initial encounter, it hadn’t truly thought about leaving him. Its mind turned blank.
It realized that Bai Xiaole's tolerance towards it had reached a limit. If it dared to act willfully, Bai Xiaole would cancel their contract no matter the consequences.
Little Nine fell silent. It glared at Hou Tianwu resentfully before slowly closing its eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaole sighed in relief. He actually loved this little fox. It was his closest companion, someone he would sacrifice his own life to protect.
However, Little Nine’s sudden change in character after growing stronger was hard for him to bear. But this wasn’t too hard to deal with. After all, they were companions. Having some patience for each other was only natural.
However, if Little Nine’s willfulness caused a major change or failure in their plans, resulting in unthinkable consequences, then Bai Xiaole would not forgive it. He also wouldn’t be able to forgive himself.
Thus, what he said just now was definitely not simply a threat. It was the truth. If Little Nine did do such a thing, he would use the Heavenly Eye’s power to seal the two of them away from this battle.
As a result of that, the Dragonblood Legion would lose two of their main fighters. However, Long Chen had already said that once he started to subdue the Emperor reverse scale, they had to stall for as much time as possible until he came back.
Everyone’s attention was currently on the Emperor reverse scale. This was the best for stalling. If Little Nine attacked now, it would start the battle in advance. The consequences of such a thing were unbearable. So Bai Xiaole was forced to say such a heartless thing.
Heartless words hurt worse than blades. Although Little Nine stopped, it felt terrible inside. But Bai Xiaole couldn’t bother with that at this time.
When Long Chen was sucked into the dragon scale’s space, the violet sun began to quiver. A wild killing intent and desire to destroy filled this space.
Even experts like Hou Tianwu shuddered when they felt this killing intent and will.
“Damn, what kind of heaven-enraging thing did this bastard do to make the Emperor reverse scale so furious?! It actually specifically wants to kill him.”
Hou Tianwu eyed the Emperor reverse scale, clenching his teeth. Anyone who was sucked into that space would definitely die.
Their original thought was that by using everyone’s power, they could continuously exhaust its power. By using their numbers, they could slowly weaken it until there might be a chance that someone could obtain it.
As the various top experts had killed each other competing for territory around it, rivers of blood flowed. The Emperor reverse scale continuously released more energy.
At this time, the Emperor reverse scale’s aura was wild and explosive. They actually thought that it sensed the danger and was finally enraged. It had sucked Long Chen into its space as a warning to everyone.
If the Emperor reverse scale gradually killed them one by one, then their previous plan would be a complete failure.
None of the experts here were confident in being able to defeat the Emperor reverse scale in a one against one. Once they were sucked inside, there would be no chance of survival.
“Now that Long Chen’s been drawn inside, he’s a good test for us. We can see how strong the Emperor reverse scale is,” said Xiang Tu.
Although things didn’t go according to his plan, if Long Chen died inside, it wouldn’t be a bad thing or a good thing for him. He was actually worried about Long Chen dying to Hou Tianwu’s hands before, which would increase his reputation.
However, the Emperor reverse was a mystery. If Long Chen did die, it might help them uncover some of the mystery. That would be a good thing.
“Will big brother Long Chen be alright?” asked Xiao Yue.
Tang Wan-er smiled. “Don’t worry, everything is within his expectations. He just didn’t think it would be so fast.”
The Emperor reverse scale was shaking now. Everyone’s eyes were on it.
On the left side of the Emperor reverse scale, two women were also watching. They were Feng Fei and Jiang Yue’e.
“This fellow is always beyond expectations. What do we do now?” Feng Fei couldn’t help smiling bitterly.
Hearing Long Chen cursing back at everyone, they were planning on joining sides with him. If there was a need, they could help him block some of the pressure.
In the Jiuli Divine Stele’s competition for the runes, Long Chen had obtained the full set, and just as he was being kicked out of its space, he broke through the spatial walls and slapped Long Zaiye in the face. He even stole some of his runes and sent them to Long Tianrui, Feng Fei, and Jiang Yue’e.
It was thanks to Long Chen’s help that their comprehension speed soared, allowing them to gain more original Jiuli divine runes, which allowed them to condense their core veins faster.
On the path of cultivation, getting one step faster than others was of utmost importance. Through that one step, it was possible to leave them far in the dust.
Furthermore, they originally possessed the purest level of the Jiuli bloodline. With the support of these runes, their power multiplied. This increase in power was so great that it felt like it was a dream.
They were all thinking about how to repay this favor. Feng Fei was also Long Chen’s old friend, while Jiang Yue’e was someone who would always repay both enmity and favor.
She didn’t like owing debts. She was always thinking of a way to repay this favor. But just as she was planning on joining Long Chen’s side, Long Chen was sucked into the Emperor reverse scale.
Their hearts both sank. This space was something no one else could enter. Rather than calling it a forbidden zone, it was simply somewhere that would kill you if you took a single step past the line.
In front of this terrifying power, they were like ants. Even if they wanted to help him, they didn’t have the power.
Not far from them, Long Tianrui was also staring at the Emperor reverse scale worriedly.
Just as everyone’s gazes concentrated on the Emperor reverse scale, Long Chen appeared atop a giant altar.
There were eight violet dragon pillars throughout the enormous altar. The eight pillars were all connected to chains binding a single figure at the center of the altar.
When Long Chen arrived, that chained fellow slowly opened his eyes. A pair of violet pupils were like sharp blades stabbing Long Chen.
“Xiu Yang, have you sent your disciple to his death?”
